June? Already? Say what!?
That in itself is a reason to celebrate—but, before that, I’m going to celebrate the little things from this last week of May 2012!
Here’s what I’ve been blissing about this week—it’s all about the little things, right!?
1. A magnet after my own heart
Don’t you just love this? A homemade with love goodie for my fridge that I found at an art show in Luck, Wisconsin.
I totally spaced and forgot to get the name of the artist, but I’m searching for it, I think I need more 😉
2. No shock here: strawberry shortcake bliss!
I have a secret: I love to cook, but I get intimidated by recipes. I rarely think I’m up to the task of taking on an unfamiliar recipe.
This week, it was strawberry shortcake—a classic, and one of my favorite summertime desserts, made with real biscuits.
My Mom and I lead the charge of making this sweet treat. Anyone up for strawberry shortcake? I can deliver!
After Frankie’s attack—I was searching for anything to calm my frazzled nerves. I took a drive to Mankato, Minnesota and back with my pup, brought him over to my parent’s house to play with his best doggie friend, Charlie, and I even slept there to recharge myself.
When I woke up on Memorial Day at my childhood home, my mom and I took advantage of the front porch. We talked, drank strong, hot coffee, and watched the sun dance on the lawn. Can I start every day like that!?
And HUGE thanks to everyone who reached out, or sent me and my boy great energy—he is doing great. 🙂
4. Doing a happy dance!
There’s a pretty sweet project coming down the pipeline and it won’t be long until I get to share it with all of you!
Here’s a little sneak peek to start opening your heart to the possibilities!
{EEEK!}

You watched the sun dance on the lawn – – poetry, pure poetry!!! I just returned home from a week visit to my childhood home and my parents. I agree there is nothing like time spent with your folks and how you can fall back into being 12 – pure joy. xoxo
